While he may be keeping himself busy reigniting his role as Captain Jack Sparrow during filming for the fifth Pirates Of The Caribbean film, Johnny Depp has momentarily swapped the life of braids and bandannas - keeping the silver hooped earrings, naturally - for a simpler, sterner look as he is unveiled as the new face of Dior fragrance.

The announcement marks the first occasion that Depp has agreed to be the face of a fragrance.

Following in the footsteps of Jude Law (for Dior Homme Sport and Dior Homme Intense) and Robert Pattinson for Dior Homme, as well as Natalie Portman (Miss Dior) and Charlize Theron (J'adore Dior), the actor is set to join an impressive line of ambassadors for the French fashion house as he becomes the face of the new fragrance composed by François Demachy.

With this campaign no doubt offering an extra financial perk for the actor, Depp - who is ranked among the top-paid actors in Hollywood - has amassed his multi-million pound fortune predominantly thanks to the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, the latest of which he is currently filming in Australia.
